The Origin Story

Editorial

Daito Soba is a unique style of Okinawa Soba that grew independently on Minamidaito Island, floating far east in the ocean from the main island of Okinawa.

This remote island has a particularly unique history, having been developed by immigrants from Hachijojima during the Meiji era.

The noodles of Daito Soba are thick and wavy hand-made noodles. Because they are not pre-boiled or oil-cured, you can enjoy the chewy texture unique to fresh noodles. The soup has a light, clear taste that pairs perfectly with the powerful, thick noodles.

Today, the noodles are made at a noodle factory in Naha City and can be enjoyed at directly managed shops in Naha or at eateries on the island. Please try a bowl of this robust dish that was born on a distant remote island and has continued to be loved by the islanders.
